"A tale as old as time..." takes on a new meaning when the story of a mob looking to destroy what they do not understand is the subject of the line. This musical is the fulfillment of our commitment to these incredible young actors, and it is full of light, laughter, and soaring music. It is also a wonderfully cautionary tale with insight into how popular opinion can be both powerful and dangerous. - Thomas Morgan Jones | Artistic Director
